Myers-Wilkins Elementary ash pile


A pile of gray ash and debris sits outside the construction site at the former Grant Elementary School in central Duluth. It was the last pile of material excavated from an old dump site workers uncovered as they renovate and expand the building to become Myers-Wilkins Elementary. The ash, found in a former creek bed that had long been covered, was dotted with old bottles, pottery and other items — some of which may date back more than a century.
